Failed to add files to IPFS. Please try again. [0.7.1]

[DavidBurela]

Under 0.6.1 I was able to add files.
I upgraded to 0.7.0 this week, I can still see my previous files that were pinned, but I'm unable to add new files or folders as it simply gives the error message:
Failed to add files to IPFS. Please try again.

If I add from IPFS then it works fine.
I upgraded to 0.7.1 and it has the same error.
The error.log file is empty, so there are no logs I can attach.

I did some research and it seems there was an issue, but it was fixed 2 months ago in the IPFS-webUI.
ipfs/ipfs-webui#928

Hey @DavidBurela! Sorry for this. Just to make sure I understood correctly: the error is through the Web UI window right? Or is it through any other integration?

[DavidBurela]

It is in the Web UI.
If I drag a file in, or I use the buttons to click "add file" or "add desktop", then it fails.
If I use the button to "add from IPFS" then it succeeds.

thanks for reporting it @DavidBurela, I've fixed the issue in ipfs-webui and opened a PR to update ipfs-desktop to the new release in #883

see: ipfs/ipfs-webui#995 for details

@DavidBurela 0.7.2 just release with a fix for that: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop/releases/tag/v0.7.2

Thanks.
I can confirm now that clicking "add file" now works.

However clicking "add folder" seems to add an empty folder. I have created a new bug with screencapture to track it
